Public transport is not an option for some people! I know that for a fact.

Buses are always late, you then get late to your work. After three lates you can be dismissed so you loose your job just cause you took the bus, and dont think Im over exaggerating here cause thats the way it works over this end.

The trains are always delayed! Same problem as before.

Taxi's are far too expensive! You jump in the taxi and the fare is at something like hahaha163;2 before you even start off ($4 approx)

Car sharing I agree with but where we are we have this thing called the forth road bridge. Its the main route into the capital from my end of scotland. To get across the bridge you pay hahaha163;1 which covers both in and out.

They want to bump this up to hahaha163;4 for those who dont care share during peak hours. Now the thing is some people really cant car share! My mom in law is the onlyh one at her work who comes from the other side of the bridge so explain that one!

I just think its another way to line those fat cats trousers pockets! We are paying through the nose for something. Slapass is right. When petrol is cheap people dont mind going out in the car, they spend more, they have more fun!

And think of the people driving all those fast sporty cars (us included) Its madness!
